In this week’s episode, the Six Pack Team popped he top on a pack of Weedwacker by Saint Arnold Brewing Company in Houston, Texas. Billed as a “kind of Hefeweizen”, this is an odd brew to rank. It definitely starts out with the banana notes that are expected of a hefeweizen, the thing that makes this style so distinct, but that fades quickly into an oddly hoppy flavor that’s usually missing. In fact, it’s almost as though Saint Arnold tried to blend a pale ale and a hefeweizen. It’s not a bad beer by any means, but it could definitely benefit from a good work-shopping.
